/THE CHALLENGE

The 12 days of Christmas challenge

Santa invites you to join him as he tries to get beach-belly ready for the ho-ho-holidays. Starting Monday 11th December, the challenge is to run a distance of your choosing – snow-body is left behind.

Run or walk your chosen distance within the 12 days. Sleigh your target in a handful of long runs, or do a little each day. What's more, entering means a chance to win prizes!
